Your recent sweep of vital articles is commendable! I really hope the developers figure out interface fixes on mobile so that the acceptable short descriptions don't suddenly disappear again over time. Oh! That reminds me—I've been pondering the idea of doing drives in this vein to collaborate in tuning up our most important articles. It seems accessible for people to pick and choose from a group of articles, and would really go a long way in improving the encyclopedia efficiently, I think.Remsense ‥ 论 03:52, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I know of a project organized on the Wikimedia Discord server which picked a vital article every week (usually a lower-level one) and directed editors to focus their efforts on improving it. I was involved in it a few years ago, and when I checked just now it is still semi-active. I always thought that having a drive like that on-wiki would be productive — just needs someone to start it. — Goszei (talk) 04:06, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

I found the record of past selected articles, if you're interested: Wikipedia:Discord/Team-B-Vital. — Goszei (talk) 16:39, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

That's why I'm here! The fact that you're showing active interest is really encouraging. The model I'm pondering is something like: every two weeks or so, pick somewhere between 5 and 10 articles that loosely correspond to a given theme, but here's the secret: we cast a wide net, such that most editors will hopefully see a few articles that spark their interest. Some number should be vital articles. Then, for the selection, we could have some achievements for tasks accomplished on each article during the month, like "6/10 reference issues cleaned up; 10/10 leads checked or copyedited". I think that would really motivate users who want direction in their editing, and would like to collaborate on small- and medium-sized contributions—could easily spark much larger improvements as well.

Donald Trump and fascism

Your edit summary[1] did not address the removal of the final sentence with the link to the Donald Trump and fascism article. This is a very significant viewpoint and discussion, as the article explains, with half the electorate holding that position. It has its own lengthy article, is covered in the body, and should be included as a link to the in-depth article in the lead. I have no opinion on the other edits. --Tataral (talk) 23:56, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

That was on accident, re-adding it now. — Goszei (talk) 23:57, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that is what I suspected :)--Tataral (talk) 23:58, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Wrapping caption

Hey! Is the faulty caption on Muhammad doing something I didn't realize, or is the intended effect simply necessary? Thanks in advance. Remsense ‥ 论 23:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

"Faulty" was the wrong word to use, but it did cause unnecessary widening of the infobox. If the goal was to prevent the caption from running to a third line containing only the word "Medina", I removed the word "in" and replaced it with a comma, which achieves this. — Goszei (talk) 23:19, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
